Juan's style of art combines monochromatic and impressionist abstract artwork highlighting landscapes, figures, and patriotic influences. Most of his artwork employs multiple colors that provide the viewer with an image that one would not normally see.
Juan Adame is a local veteran artist.
Juan holds a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts with a concentration in Studio Art from The University of Texas Pan American. He has been awarded second and third place in his paintings and prints through the VA Texas Valley Coastal Bend Veterans Creative Arts Competition which has allowed him to compete at the national level. His experience has allowed him to exhibit his work in Weslaco and throughout the Rio Grande Valley including McAllen and San Benito and up to Corpus Christi, Austin, and Wichita Falls with Art Spark Texas.
When Juan's not busy working on paintings, he’s busy with family, work and other hobbies such as working out or training for an upcoming bicycle ride, 5K or triathlon. You can follow him on Facebook J Adame Jr Fine Art’s Page.
The Weslaco Museum proudly showcases artists whose works reflect the culture and spirit of our community. Emerging or established, solo or collaborative, scholastic or self-initiated, the Artists’ Gallery features a new exhibit each month that conveys a sense of home. Selfies with Frida, Tinaco by moonlight, portraits of conjunto musicians who brought their sounds from the fields to the radio – the Weslaco Museum celebrates the people and places and experiences that help to shape our community.
The historical side of the Weslaco Museum holds a number of permanent exhibits that cover our history from the prehistoric age of the dinosaurs through the 20th century, including:
The Weslaco Museum has an extensive collection of artifacts and archives, many of which are on regular display. However, we have such a large collection that we cannot possibly exhibit all of our items at once. Artifacts - objects - are kept in our storage room, cataloged into several groups: kitchen & housewares; cameras; clothing, hats & shoes; military & civic duty; geology; as well as several others. Archives - papers and documents - are kept in our records room. Artifacts and archives are made available for research to those individuals who submit a formal request.
The mission of the Weslaco Museum is to collect, preserve, exhibit, and promote the history, cultural arts, and past traditions of Weslaco, Texas, and its surrounding region.
